Wish I could haul this!

[Angelbirdy]

So I went to scavenge some plywood off a doghouse. Lo and behold, the thing is bigger than our garden shed! I wish I could haul the whole thing and keep 20 (50,100!) chickens in it with some modifications. It’s super ugly, but insulated and built like a tank. Thought I’d share the pics. I am taking the roofing also, which is actually plastic, not metal. I have green roofing but wonder if I can paint the white and use it.

Tear it down and bring it all home

Cattle fence included?

 

[Angelbirdy]

I should add it was about 10’ high, 12’ long, and 10’ wide

Cattle fence included?

Yes. But I don’t know if I can use it since we’d need to cover with hardware cloth. I am building a 6.5’ tall post and HW cloth run.

Just too big for our 6-8 hen needs and space, since we also need room for a run. But I’m sorry all that hard work will be destroyed.

Just remember --- one man's trash is another man's treasure. And nothin lasts forever. : D

I'd take the cattle fence anyway!

Looks good, but roofing is running in the wrong direction, should be up and down

Probably won't matter, really...especially in NM.

We are at 7,200 feet and get heavy monsoons and about a foot of snow here and there in winter. But we have a LOT of sun! When I collect the roofing I will attach it to my (much smaller!) coop correctly. I noticed that install also.
